GE ELECT 4SSP Q.7

The following context of a country will be very determinative of  the relevance and prevalence of nurse entrepreneurs providing nursing service, except:

• legal

• economic

• moral

Nursing entrepreneurship manifests itself in various ways and does not inevitably lead to this consequence of the health system.

• privatization

• localization

When it is speaking for nurses and nursing, the NNA will need to take into consideration the  rights and obligations of the following, except:

• consumers of health services

• members who are nurses employed by nurse entrepreneurs

• members who are nurse intrapreneurs

• doctors

They are useful only if the competent authorities adopt them and the necessary  power is delegated to a known entity to ensure compliance.

Once the ability to practice is determined according to professional competencies as stated, legislation or regulations must settle the right to practice.

• standards of education and practice

• conditions of work

The viability of nurse entrepreneurs will depend on consumers appreciating the full range of nurses' responses to health needs in the community at all levels of health care.

• standards of education and practice

• legal legitimacy

• social credibility

• conditions of work

The NNA needs a strategy for furthering the understanding of these issues by the public and by policy makers.
